I treat the whole male thing the same way other people treat their cringe teensge phases. I don’t erase it but I do generally avoid talking about it or acknowledging it when not relevant. Because yeah it really does feel like a cringe thing I did when I was younger and hadn’t figured myself out yet.

And if relevant I transitioned at 20 a decade ago

Heac8ly lsd laced potatoes. Everyone loves potato dishes at potlucks. Just be sure not to tell anyone you did it

I think in Europe it’s just the smell of cancer, addiction, and Europeans

I mean increasing numbers of Americans are being threatened by the government

They were remarkably fast for a vaccine, they were effective and also the most unpleasant vaccine I’ve had. And they involved the industrialized world dumping huge amounts of resources into their creation. They also took significantly longer than the study proposing hydrocychloroquine. The study refuting it wasn’t on a timer so it was able to take it slow and go at the pace of normal science.

There’s also a feedback loop. He rants about what they want to hear and they worry about what he tells them to worry about frequently enough. This is how people who had been afraid of immigrants but otherwise normal wind up terrified of antifa and queer people making them stop eating meat. And while this is happening there are people like Steve bannon who’ve been intentionally developing techniques to indoctrinate people to the far right.

I’ve never seen people sneer at doctors of physics talking about physics or doctors of medieval literature discussing the influences on chaucer (though they do get routinely mocked for thinking themselves employable).

What people do sneer at is doctors of electrical engineering claiming that they’ve disproven speciation by evolution and doctors of law declaring medical establishment wrong about medicine.

A doctorate just means you’re an expert at something not everything

Yeah ivermectin is a miracle drug …in antiparasitic medicine. Virology not so much

I assume it took that long because good science is rarely fast and fast science is rarely good

I do what I can when I can. Hopelessness hinders the change I can make

Idk it just works for her you know?

Permit? Fucking permit? How fucking dare you talk about permitting what people do with their bodies‽

I’ve known sex workers. I’ve sat in their homes, eaten meals and shared drinks and had deep and long conversations with them. In fact I’ve had long term partners that’ve done it off and on when times are tough. You clearly don’t respect women enough to let us make our own choices even when they aren’t necessarily great. And yeah I’ll acknowledge that sex work often has negative consequences, I learned that from feminist essays written by sex workers but they still believed it should be permitted and I trust them more than a man who feels the need to post about how he thinks some celebrity isn’t beautiful.

The last thing women need is men deciding what we can do with our bodies.

Oh see I prefer respecting the people inside those bodies

Not a fan boy or a faux feminist, just some random internet lesbo, and yeah she’s beautiful

I don’t want anyone to have to go through being unable to marry just because of the gender of their partner

True but it’s not like China has never decided enough was enough and replaced their leadership by force

Yeah i wouldn’t be surprised if the next 4 years saw natural gas and coal plants being torn down because they can’t be subsidized cheaper than solar.

Oh it tipped a few years ago. It’s just still being implemented. There may be less startup to ramping up fossil fuel plants still, but solar is cheaper to build and operate

Mine are all boring shit like my insurance deciding how many relapses of cancer my mom was allowed to fight or them challenging my surgery a month before despite having gotten pre approval or needing pre approval at least once a year for a med I’d been on for a decade.

But a friend had an actually entertaining one, she had trans bottom surgery and they paid for everything except for the “removal of the penis” which they demanded to know why it was necessary

Edit: sorry thought it said health insurance story

Oh I’m so fucking dead. Like, queer anarchist factory worker in Ohio dead
